Take a small (much-needed) break for 'Snow Day' at Oregon Zoo

Good Morning America ?@GMA 1h1 hour ago
WATCH: The @OregonZoo had a snow day with their animals and it was the most adorable thing you will see all day.



Despite a closure due to weather conditions, the animals of the Oregon Zoo in Portland had a great time playing in the snow on Wednesday

The polar bear frolicking in the snow is Nora - the little bear who was hand reared at the Columbus Zoo. Many of us watched her grow up via videos released by the zoo. What a difference a year makes. She has gotten so big.

The other animals looked as though snow was the best enrichment they had been provided in a long time. Mother Nature at her best.

When the animals started making their noises, my dogs went a bit crazy and ran around the room barking!
